Hi

Any plans for a future release to solve this issue? This topic was raised in Feb and now its mroe than 3 months without a solution in sight or even any guesstimate timelines. It's really an inconvenieve when the speaker turns on and connects automatically wheneve I turn on my laptop (I stream audio to the speaker while watching any media on my laptop) but there are times when I do not want to route the audio through the Revolve for example when I'm on a Skype call or just want to use headphones. Switching off my BT manulally everytime I boot up is not an option. Everything was working fine till this upgrade.

This auto power on and connect is one of the most frustrating features of the latest update. I carry my speaker with me in my back up and everytime I open my computer at work, the speaker will connnect  "Connected to XXXX's computer"! ARGH! I don't want to use this feature! Maybe a disable/enable button please!

I agree.

I have the Revolve connected to a bluetooth transmitter connected to my TV (so I can hear the TV at a distance in the kitchen)  and cell phone. Since  the bluetooth tranmitter unit is alway on, so isn't the Revolve. 

The other issue is  when I want to connect my phone to the revolve+ to listen to music, I have to turn off the bluetooth transmitter.

How about a survey, since the Bose Engineers are following along. Reply with your preference.

Do you want to make the auto-on feature customizable (Yes/No) ?  

I'll go first -

How much time will spend Bose waiting to fix this? It's sad to suffer this ever day!!!

Bose, Add an option to disable the auto-on feature. Stop mucking about, this is what people want.  You added the feature, you can certainly disable it.

I am also disapointed there is no power off button...I bought Revolve yesterday 😞

Bose have had their chance to fix this problem. I'm going to take my speaker and headphones back to the store tomorrow to request a refund.

I recently purchased a Soundlink Revolve Plus and updated the firmware within a day. As soon as I did that, it started to automatically turn on when I turned on a nearby linked device with bluetooth on. 

Also, if a nearby linked device has it's bluetooth turned on, the Soundlink turns on by itself.

This creates a conflict if I want to use a different bluetooth device, say  headphones.

Please address this immediately. It's a major bug that ruins the customer experience with what is an otherwise great speaker.

Please do solve this annoing bug. It is not a feature, it's something usless that wasn't addressed for months now.
